What is recorded here
Situated on the S spur of a small hillock (200ft/61m OD), in rough pasture. Depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork. Monument described in 1977 as an oval-shaped area (dims. 53m E-W; 55m N-S) defined by a scarp. There seems to be later stone facing to the scarp at NW and from E-ESE-SSE. There is no trace of an external fosse. There is a gap in the scarp at NNE and SSE, although it is unclear which may be the original entrance. The interior has an E-facing slope with no apparent structures visible. Monument is visible today as an oval-shaped tree-lined earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography, the surrounding area has been planted with modern forestry.
